Want to earn 1000000 USD?

All you have to do to earn 1000000 USD:

Solve one of seven mathematical problems.  See here.  It's One Million Dollars per problem, so if you can solve more than one (maybe you have an extra weekened) you get oodles of cash.

There is an easier way

[MightyPenguin]

I wouldn't touch US money if you paid me.

With real money.

[Numsgil]

MP, you're lowering my purchasing power, stop it!

[Slavakion]

Yeah, I'll get right on those after proving string theory.

[PurpleYouko]

Which string theory would that be then?

At the last count there were 5 competing string theories all based on 10 dimensional space time.

Then they discovered that they were all wrong and there were actually 11 dimensions. This led to the discovery that each of the five theories were actually different aspect of the same thing  :lol:

It also led to the conclusion that string theory was a thing of the past. It is now Membrane theory or Brane theory if you prefer.

You can prove that if you like but don't waste time on old hat stuff like strings.  :rolleyes:

[Numsgil]

Continuing with what PY said, brane theory is really N-Dimensional string theory.  You fill in a number of dimensions for each different aspect you're trying to measure.

Like a big matrix.  Create a new row and column when you have a new variable to test.

[MightyPenguin]

PY, the letter M in M theory has no single meaning. There is no such thing as membrane theory.

[PurpleYouko]

So where did you think the M came from then?

Membrane maybe?  <_<

What a daft thing to say.

So I suppose that all the text books, lectures and videos that I have been reading, attending and watching for the last year or so have all been wrong have they?

 :blink:

I will tell the leading scientists that they all have it wrong right away.

[Numsgil]

I will tell the leading scientists that they all have it wrong right away.

Oh, they don't like that at all.  I'd do it long distance if you can.

[PurpleYouko]

Yeah it tends to piss them off a tad!

[PurpleYouko]

I might even have to do it anonymously  :D

Oh, man. I'm really behind. I need to go to the library...

[Botsareus]

Rofl I thought the spammers were back...

[Botsareus]

ok, I got to "see here" it takes me to some wikipadiea bull .. , were are the math?
